    The first intergalactic duel!!!

    At last something fresh in the second LOTG season, Kronig as the most high intellect mind in giant's world challenge the earthlings on a chess match, trying to prove that they weren't actually a superior race, at first it presumaly no harm ahead, but what the little people don't know is about Kronig has a distubing mind, making it a real deadly game, scorted by Doctor Lalor who in charge as medical assistance becames a last hope to our heroes against the host, who get angry and refuses to loose to a little boy Barry, Betty one more time is hidden your untimely pregnancy behind of Spaceship's control panels, finally this episode has something enough appealing!!!

    Goofs: the same Spindrift's control panel also was used at Kronig's house.

    Resume:

    First watch: 1971 / How many: 5 / Source: TV-VHS-DVD / Rating: 7.5
